Heros: A Review


Heros is a cute heartwarming piece that looks into the hearts and minds of students at Polaris K-12 School in Anchorage, Alaska , asking the simple question, “Who is your hero?” The piece includes young children and voices that belong to seniors. With a simple standard intro, and the promise of interesting answers this piece is catchy from the beginning. It contains a mix of seriousness and goofy answers, “I look up to the flagpole,” blurts out one kid. All the answers fit nicely together over the cheery background noise of a school yard. After starting the piece Nithya Thiru and Nikki Navio only edited, their voices do not appear again, which is neat as the piece can speak so easily for itself, extra narration is not needed. However a conclusion, wrap up or summary, at the end would be helpful. This piece would go well with any show discussing role models, heroes, or future/current generations also look for this piece around days honoring passed heroes.
